Keep STEM Talent Act of 2025

This bill would let non-U.S. citizens who earn a master's degree or higher in a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) field from a U.S. college get an immigrant visa without being limited by the usual yearly caps on how many immigrant visas are handed out. To qualify, they would need to have a job or job offer related to their degree that pays above the median wage for that type of work and meet certain labor requirements. The bill would also let students applying for a student visa to study for an advanced STEM degree do so even if they plan to eventually seek permanent residency, which is normally a reason a student visa can be denied. Additionally, students already in the U.S. applying for this type of student visa would have to go through the same background checks and credential reviews as those applying from outside the country.
